My new Art Work Showing at North Yorkshire Open Studios

So far this has been a very creative one for me and luckily the ideas keep on flowing - long may it continue!

Here is a new work that I created at the beginning of the year with the North Yorkshire Open Studios event in mind. As the open studios event is in June I wanted to create something that was colourful and naturally my thoughts led to Alice in Wonderland. This is the second new art work from this theme that I have produced this year and will I be exhibiting them both for the first time from my NYOS venue!

This new artwork is titled ‘Alice in Pursuit’, a mixed media image on canvas.

I hope you like it!

Productivity!

If you have been following me recently you will know that this year I have had a surge of productivity! Literally, I’ve developed lots of new products!

I wanted to create a lovely affordable gifting range which I think I have achieved and therefore I have now turned my attention to my contemporary greeting card range by adding new stock.

The new range complements my ‘Alice’ card following the theme of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and has again been developed from my some of my original artworks.

You may have seen my card developed from the original image ‘The Mad Hatters Tea Party’ which arrived the other week but the latest greetings card has only just arrived and I am more than happy with how it has turned out!

The original image ‘She is a Flower with Messy Petals!’ was created in January this year and was created with the notion of it becoming a greeting card, which is an oddity in itself as I normally create artwork because I am inspired by a particular theme. The thought of a product normally comes afterwards when I look at an image with fresh eyes and evaluate it. Never-the-less I do believe it works as a card and I now leave you with the question  - which one of these greetings cards do you like the most?

New Greetings Card!

Today I had a lovely delivery of my latest design in my contemporary greetings cards range and have spent most of the day packaging them to send on to my stockists.

The original mixed media image was again inspired by ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and was actually created in 2011 titled ‘The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’.

Tomorrow I will start distribution to my stockists but you can also purchase them through my own website.

In a few weeks’ time I should be able to post another new card from my contemporary greetings card range so watch out for that!

I am currently working with this image to create a new product design! But I'm not going to tell you what it will be yet! You'll just have to wait!  

Something New!

Yesterday (Sunday 24^th March) I spent a fantastic day at Rags Restaurant in Bridlington as a stall holder at their fair ‘Rags to Stiches’, the atmosphere was amazing and I met some very lovely talented people who also had stalls there. Even though the weather was very windy lots of people showed their support by coming to see us all!

This month I have held two stalls in Bridlington promoting and launching my new affordable product ranges. By now you may have seen my different designs of eco bags and my canvas make-up bags.

However, here is something you may not have seen at all!

 

Introducing to you my new range of ‘Pocket Mirrors’, they are available in two different designs and are sold in a silver organizer bag. They are not widely available as yet but can be found in a few select venues! 

 

I hope you like them!

 

Brochure and Poster Galore For North Yorkshire Open Studio Event

This year I am delighted to be taking part in the North Yorkshire Open Studios for the first time. I was so honoured to be accepted for this event as there are some exceptional artists based in North Yorkshire. This year a total of 123 artists will be taking part (I am number ‘99’ in the catalogue!) over June 8/9 & June 15/16.

 Recently lots of exciting things have begun to happen regarding this event such as the launch of the website @ www.nyos.org.uk and last week I had a chance to meet a few of the artists that are taking part when I picked up my allocation of Brochures etc. to begin distribution!

 

The June event is slowly creeping up on us and there is so much to do before the event! I have lots of quirky ideas to engage my visitors but for now here is a little sneaky peak of the function room at Beiderbecke’s Hotel in Scarborough where I will be taking part from.

So please visit me at:
